+All `POST` and `PUT` endpoints, with the exception of those listed below,
 require the client to supply a request body containing a (potentially empty)
 JSON object.  Clients should supply a `Content-Type` header of
 `application/json` for all requests with JSON bodies, but this is not required.

+- [`POST /_matrix/media/v3/upload`](#post_matrixmediav3upload) and 
+  [`PUT /_matrix/media/v3/upload/{serverName}/{mediaId}`](#put_matrixmediav3uploadservernamemediaid),
+  both of which take the uploaded media as the request body.
+- [`POST /_matrix/client/v3/logout`](#post_matrixclientv3logout) and
+  [`POST /_matrix/client/v3/logout/all`](#post_matrixclientv3logoutall),
+  which take an empty request body.
